LINCOLN – Last week the Nebraska State College System (NSCS) hosted higher education law and Title IX expert, Peter Lake, in Lincoln, Nebraska. Seventy-five area college and university staff and faculty attended the forum to hear from Lake as well as a policy discussion panel with Senator Adam Morfeld, Nebraska ACLU Director Danielle Conrad and Lake.

“Having an expert in Title IX, like Peter Lake in Nebraska is an invaluable resource for the State Colleges as we continue to work to ensure safer campuses and more inclusive places for students and employees,” said NSCS Chancellor Stan Carpenter. “Providing an environment in which all students and employees who participate in our programs and activities can work together in an atmosphere free from unlawful discrimination, harassment, or violence is a top priority for the State Colleges.”

Lake and the panel discussed rapidly changing landscape of higher education including topics like Title IX compliance and recent changes in federal guidance, the state’s role in Title IX efforts, free speech, and best practices in higher education.
